06 May 2025

Tom Sleigh has been elected as Chairman of the City of London Corporation Planning & Transportation Committee.

Read our statement from CPA Chief Executive Charles Begley below.

“On behalf of all our members I look forward to working with the new Chairman on the City’s ambitious plans to support its continued economic growth, which the property industry is a critical driver of through the delivery of best-in-class, sustainable offices. Tom’s deep experience across a number of cultural institutions and business improvement districts will aid our members’ efforts to support the ongoing transformation of the area as part of the City Corporation’s Destination City vision.

“I’d also like to pay tribute to his predecessor Shravan Joshi, who over his three-year tenure has been a visionary and ambitious advocate of the City of London and leaves a legacy writ large in the skyline, supporting the Square Mile’s post-Covid recovery. We congratulate him on his continued role on the committee as deputy chairman, which will provide consistency over the next year.”
